Scientists Show that They Can Change People's Moral Judgments

Scientists have shown they can alter your moral judgments just by disrupting a specific area of your brain with magnetic pulses.

A region of your brain just above and behind your right ear appears to control morality -- a bundle of nerve cells known as the right temporo-parietal junction (RTPJ).

When the researchers used magnetic pulses to block cell activity in that region, they impaired volunteers' notion of right and wrong.

BBC News reports:

"In one scenario participants were asked how acceptable it was for a man to let his girlfriend walk across a bridge he knew to be unsafe. After receiving a 500-millisecond magnetic pulse to the scalp, the volunteers delivered verdicts based on outcome rather than moral principle. If the girlfriend made it across the bridge safely, her boyfriend was not seen as having done anything wrong."

No we know where all the sheep come from?

I think our scientists are only in the beginning of the process of exploring of the man's brain. It is the wellknown fact that the man is the most uninvestigated object on the Earth. The worst thing is that scientists have no common theory as to the human

I think they have to do a lot of research before exploring this complex 'theory of mind.' Scientists are concentrating towards a particular region of brain which constructs morality. But it also requires understanding of others people intentions before making any moral judgment.
